the stiching is vertical (on the fronts anyway)

not so sure about th rears. all e30 seats had vertical stitching other than the m3 with horizontal stitching.

not so sure, poss not. they are cab seats. mine are larger where the side of the rears are chopped down on these to fit where the doorcards wrap around as Quaser quite rightly pointed out. could be m3 cab seats though.

Cabs are fitted with the horizontal stitching too, just like the M3 seats, obviuosly the rear seat and bench are unique to the cab though, but are similar to the M3 rear seat in the way that they are shaped to hold only 2 people.
